I don't know if anyone heard about this movie or not. Absolutely loved it. Ending was so satisfying. Rapist should get this type of punishment 👏

Ship Of Theseus

I made a thread a week ago to discuss this movie but no one commented on it, so I think no one has watched this movie and they really need to see it.

This was my whole post about the movie :

I particularly want to talk about the third and last story of the film, which was about a stockbrocker who has a dysfunctional relationship with her grandmother, who is a social worker. His grandmother has a problem with his way of living which is like any other normal person. Not caring about anything wrong which is going on in this world. Like we common people, who know and believe in what's right and wrong but still make no efforts to change the world or society, because kiske paas time Hain? And nothing really changes even after our constant efforts so why even try?

The guy recently had a kidney transplant and he was looking after his sick grandmother in hospital. There he hears about a patient who was a labourer by profession and his kidney got stolen. He fears that the kidney he got was stolen from him. He starts feeling guilty and tracks down the person and finds out that it was a big racket of organ trafficking, and the police arrested the doctors involved in this. However, nobody cares about the labourer whose kidney got stolen. He meets the labourer and assures him that they'll get him his kidney back.

He finds out that the patient who took his kidney was not him but a citizen of Stockholm in Sweden. He travels there and meets the person. The person who took his kidney tells him that he was feeling guilty in the whole process of kidney transplant, even though he tries to justify it by saying that he paid a high price for this and he had no idea that the kidney was stolen. The stockbroker asks the recipient to give the labourer to give his kidney back, for which he of course disagrees, but assures him that he'll find a donor for him, and pay for everything, from the doctor, to his operation.

But later on he gets to know that the labourer got a huge sum of money for his kidney from the recipient and he's happy with it. He tries to convince the labourer that he'll get his kidney get back and he'll also get compensation from Court. But the labourer doesn't want to go to court because who wants to go through court kachery ke chakkar? He's happy to trade his kidney for the money.

In the end he goes back to grandmother and tells her that he tried alot but nothing really happened. For which she replied that whatever happened, happened because you did something, and only this much happens.

This is such a great message in my opinion. We always know what's right and wrong and speak against it while in comfort of our homes with our friends or in social media, but never try to change the wrong to right, never fight against any injustice. Because we believe that nothing really changes, and it's true that nothing ever really changes. Because we human beings have this inherent trait of being narcissistic and never realize that we're so irrelevant in this larger scheme of things, that we always want to make a big change otherwise it's never worth it for us Though the reality is that we can only make small changes to our world and society, which might just be irrelevant in this large world. But that's what we are. Irrelevant.

But if everyone holds back thinking that nothing will change, nothing would've ever changed. We would still be living in stone age. Although it's difficult to accept this, and practically always do what we preach because of our narsissistic attitude.

I watched this movie in theater. Frankly don't remember much, apart from that it was very hard to watch.😆 There were such minutes long scenes of windmills and wind blowing through leaves..

Umm...I don't think it's a hard watch even if you find it boring. The movie is not fast paced but not slow paced either. I guess you lack patience.😆

I saw this movie and loved the concept. You have beautifully penned down the gist of it. To be honest I found the movie little lengthy.
